Didn't that man take Butler to the NCAA Finals 2 years in a row? That man is a superstar coach who knows how do adjust in the games.yes he did and nearly won over the Puke Blue Sissies. last second shot fell short. would have won the game and the title. it nearly went in .. from half court .. I thought it was going to go in.
Tatum and Brown are only getting better so the Celtics will be a problem for everyone for a while.
Danny Ainge is a great GM. I thought letting Al Horford go was brilliant. Al looks like shit now.
The Celtics will get next level. Tatum and Brown are not even close to their prime. Their ceilings are off the charts. Originally Posted by Lucas McCain

Butler was unable to initiate their offense and Stevens called a timeout to set up a play. A failed inbounds attempt and a timeout later, Hayward missed a baseline fade-away jumper and Brian Zoubek came down with the rebound for Duke. He was quickly fouled with less than 4 seconds remaining. Hayward narrowly missed a desperation half-court shot as time expired, making the final margin 61–59.[61]
so close!!!
last two minutes in real time
yeah Ainge built a title team .. but Celts fans HATE him. in 1986 he threw a bad bounce pass to McHale with the Celts up 1 then came ... Magic's famous baby sky hook to win the game and make the difference in the series. so all he really did is atone for his fuckup
